 Spring Business Changes in Town. Shows confectionery store will, May l, be removed to the Huyler store, few doors above. The Huyler store has been given up. The Snow store will be occupied by jewelry firm from New York. The rent for it for the coming year has been raised to $3, 500, from $2, 800 last year. The Butler & Tyler, whole sale boot and shoe firm, take the Stoddard 6 Kimberly stores on State street. Judd, the bookseller, removes to the Butler 6 Tyler store. c. J. Monson, the jeweller, removes to the Judd store and Butler, the natter, takes the Monson store. Citron, the cigar dealer on State street, removes to the Heller building, three doors north of his present place and Engel, the cigar dealer, takes the Citron store.
 While on this subject it will be interesting to many to know that the Snow corner store in the old Glebe building, thirty four years ago, rented for $230 and that this sum included a room overhead. This is an index to the great increase generally in the value of prop erty for store renting purposes on Chapel and Church streets.
 The Late Captain Charles E. Myrtck.
 Coroner Mix decided yesterday that Chas. Myrick, formerly of Nantucket, who died at State street boarding house Sunday un- der circumstances which pointed somewhat to suicide, died from overdose of chloral. He took three doses of it Sunday to ease his pain.
 It is learned that Captain Myrick belonged to one of the best known and respected families on Nantucket island, and for many years was successful sea captain, as his father was before him. After the death of his estimable wife he was tenderly cared for by hls children, when he would allow them to care for his needs, and for some years has had his home with daughter in this city. But of late he has been evidently affected in mind by the terrible affliction from which he suffered. An operation was performed on the mouth for the removal of the cancer, but the disease was still progressing, and in the anguish of his extreme sufferings, while seeking relief, he took the overdose of chloral unintentionally, it is presumed, and thus came to his death. No blame can be attach ed to any one for his wanderings from place to place, since he would not be controlled by his children, and the sympathy of all who understand the circumstances is with the son and daughter, who are in this city, and the absent daughter now in Nantucket.
